Love Poem: Will You

Will You

Will you
Savour every inch
Of my vexed irate?
Will you
Kiss every precise incision
Slitting my heart?
Will you
pour every drop
Of my saline tears
Into the wine glass,
gulp it down
Forever?
Will you
Not seek
The cocquettish feminine
In me,
Sing lullabies instead
Until I sleep? 
Will you
Make me
The paramount 
Of your thoughts?
Will you 
Stay awake 
At the dead of the night
Counting stars,
Deciding funny names
Of our unborn child? 
Will you 
Pull all my sadness,
Plunge it 
into the oblivion?

For love,
I don't need 
Your brisk
feverish love.
I don't seek for fairies
Sprinkling pixie dust
Over my parched soul.
All I need
Is to be loved,
Not for the sake of love.
Caress me,
Fondle me..
With your innocent cravings.
Stitch my tattered spirits
Evanesce all my pain.

Will you?
